For the sake of discussion and not arguement. I as a PS3 gamer, could care less for the current attach rate. The only difference is that you use that number as a way to diss all PS3 gamer for "wasting" $600 on a Console.
I have bought VF5, NBA 2k7, and fight night round 3. I have rented and played Oblivion, Motorstorm, Virtua tennis, Resistance. So in the course of 5 months I have got more then me gaming fix with my PS3.
Now as far as a business stan...
Wiisports had to be purchased in japan. It was only bundled in for the U.S. and European launch. Thing is in Japan its a whole different gaming culture. It's so different that they still have arcades that are still populated the way they were here (U.S.) in the 80's and 90's. Wii is little more then a fade just like the SNK color and wonderswan were, but you can't hate on Nintendo's success they have just bankrolled their next console off the early success of the Wii and that for the sake...
TheMarts favorite stat.
Attach rates.
Who cares I'm more of a renter then a buyer.
So I still play games that these attach rates don't account for.
Of course he feels the way he does. He says that he got the big game out of his system. So if he was drained after making a game for 10-13 months on a DVD-9, how long will he be at the office when he has 50gigs to play around with. He speaks his mind and has nothing else to gain out of it.
He doesn't sell consoles (even though his games make some buy a certain console) he really could care less who buys what, and for him to be that honest about a companies product when they i...
I have a PS3, I also have a Car payment, Motorcycle payment, insurance payment, Rent and a Son who is about to turn 2. I only make $10 an hour.
I'm as close to the average joe owning a PS3 as you can get.
It was $600 but $600 well spent.
Outside of soccer and tennis game you named some the worst sport arcade franchises to ever see the light of day.
NFL blitz was fun back in 96 when it first came out, slugfest was forgetable at best, NBA hoopz, please. I'll give you MLB cause they have put a story into a sim game and made it great.
The real rundown to any real sport gamers go as followed.
Soccer: Winning Eleven Series ( but in america nobody cares)
Football: Madden o...
the train keeps rollin'.
Now a price drop to increase install base and they will be set.
Oh yeah and some more games being released would help this cause as well.
Basketball, Hockey, are better done in the 2K series. Football, Baseball (when they had it) are better done by EA.
I see the good in this, cause this will make madden dev. team add improvements to the game instead of the "fixes" they seem to add year after year. This year it will interesting to see what exactly 2k can do with football on new hardware since they have been out of the game for about 3 years.
the main reason holding me back from owning a 360 is that MS nickel and dimes it's consumers for everything and I for one don't like it.
So I'll be keeping my $480 dollars.
in my eyes. AM tired of these washed out halfed-As$ ports they keep putting out there. Pretty soon am just gonna give up of the company and not buy any of their games.
$500 they will make the market a little better for themselves especailly since MS if releasing the Elite.
I dont want no armored core demo. Give us somthing better.
when developers take their time and learn a new system. Instead of b1tching and moaning that it's not as easy as system A or B.
It's a remake but what a remake it's turning out to be.
with MGS4 we have acutally seen in-game footage so when we look at screen shots we are that much more impressed. With Heavenly sword we have only been treated to small amounts of gameplay footage since E3. So we all keep looking at the screen shots and they start to lose their value cause we want to see what these graphics look like in motion. As is the case with MGS4 the screen shots released are always after in game footage so we know that the game looks as good as the screen shots make i...
I really enjoy this gaming franchise, I want this game to come.
Hopefully we'll see it before the summer is over.
As a steping stone for a new IP players couldn't really ask for more.
when Motorstorm 2 is released it's gonna put it's own game to shame!!!!!
can this process be used to make online framerates a little better?
Or can this be used to help online in anyway?
Ask Hideo Kojima if all the hard work he puts in to his game for the PS3 is to hard. Then ask him if it is totally worth it. This is the perfect example of a man who is not scared of hard work and his games have always proven that. When MSG4 is released All will see exactly what a Great Developer can do with the tools given to him when he and his team take the time and learn how to use them.
was more of a overall statement made and not directed at you directly so sorry for that.
And i had all but forgotten the Game & watch I had the Donkey kong and that was the most fun a kid could have at the laundry mat with his folks waiting for the cloths to be done.
I see were you're coming from but nintendos success can also be its down fall.
Gamecube was a great machine just didn't have good developer support.
The Wii is also a great machine...
